HeavyLift, headquartered in Sydney with the fleet based in Brisbane, brings to Australia:
• the Shorts SC-5 Belfast, a titan among cargo freighters, purpose-designed for the RAF as a reliable, high-capacity freighter,
• the legendary 727-51C freighter, one of the most successful aircraft ever built with an almost unrivalled reputation for reliability,
• and shortly, the stalwart DC10 freighter with a payload capacity over 130cu.m and a range well over 6000km at better than 500kts.
